I heard some of the album about a mouth ago.
They have lost the plot completly. Real shame.

can't tell if i like it yet... theres none of that familiar keyboard sound. Its a little more "modern" influenced.... I do think Ross Robinson is a damn good producer though. Its more guitar driven than previous records.

i like darker and harder than their previous efforts. not better than the old albums, but more intense than the last stuff.
btw i dont like ross robinson, but he made a good job.

Its not like it's their best record, but it's a good record. I like it. I'll probably toss it in every coupl months.

They are my all time favorite band.
New album is good, but it doesn't stand out in the way I wanted it too. Smith is repeating too many lyrics on too many songs, kind of boring. It does, however, match up with what I heard about it, and that's that it is more like Faith/Seventeen Seconds era stuff but much more produced.There is an article in this month's Illinois Entertainer article on The Cure where Smith says the album is not nearly as dark as he wanted it to be. The whole thing was going to be that way, but Ross Robinson didn't want it that way.
There's promise of the darker stuff as B-Sides in the future. Should be cool.

well they're older so their sound will obviously not be the same, it's easier for new fans to like them, than old ones expecting to hear that same original sound.

just saw them at curiosa last night. good show. they played a lot of old stuff which seemed to be what everone was there for based on the crowds reaction.
mogwai rocked as well!
